点评:No summer feels complete to me without a visit to the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY. I’ve attended four week-long retreats there over the past several years, and, as a schoolteacher, I find it to be the perfect place to go to rest and recharge before and after every school year. All the workshops, teachers, and facilitators are sure to spur your growth as a whole person, regardless of your path in life. And the campus is a great place to explore and engage: from walking in the woods, meditating in the sanctuary, exploring new ideas in the library, shooting hoops on the basketball court, or simply sitting by lake, it is always easy to get lost in the moment wherever you go. The food is also fantastic. Always fresh farm to table fare at every meal, and the best cookies and ice cream at the Cafe. But the best part of any Omega visit is the people you will meet there. You are guaranteed to find your tribe while being surrounded by the most open, accepting, and appreciative people there are. There is no other place where I’ve had more enlightening conversations than at the Omega Institute. I definitely recommend a visit.
